"For instance IMHO Acts 15."
The letter from the Jerusalem church was a political tract; a compromise that neither the orthodox Jewish christians nor Paul took seriously. Before Paul and Silas could start the second missionary journey, the orthodox Jewish christians had beaten them to the churches in Galatia and were convincing them that they had to be circumcised, contradicting the letter (Acts 15:24). Paul was distancing the gentile churches from the Jerusalem letter. In Romans 14 and in 1 Corinthians 8 and 10 he tells the churches that it is alright to eat meat offered to idols as long as they don't have personal scruples concerning it or it does not hinder a weaker brother. There is no mention of the letter. The only lasting importance of the letter was the acknowledgment of Paul's mission to the gentiles. But the warrant for his mission came directly from the risen and reigning Christ, not from Jerusalem.
